The S100 is very expensive. Over here it works out at $107 a litre as it comes in a small tin.
I use a water based plastic trim cleaner that I buy from my local car accessory shop which is very good. I only use S100 for special occasions but you can't beat it.
You don't need a degreaser because they don't leak oil. According to some classic Harley owners that's a bad thing although I've never understood why.

I spot clean the area with non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Works like a charm: dries almost instantly and leaves absolutely no residue
